Lenora & I just returned Thursday nite from a couple of weeks 'on the road out west' to attend tnttt member slowcowboy's Walk the Winds gathering near Pinedale, WY. Left central AR on Saturday, Aug 9th & got to New Fork Lake near Pinedale on Thur, Aug 14th after a meandering trip thru OK, TX, NM, AZ, & UT. Had a great trip & enjoyed it all, even 'swarming' mosquitos at the NRA Whittington Center primitive camp near Raton, NM. Temps in the mountains were nice in daytime & cool (I'd say cold) at night. Too cool for old folks who hafta get up & go outside during the night

. Had a great gathering, met a lot of nice folks (I think ALL TDers are like that...), saw some new & interesting country, & revisited other places we'd seen before. After leaving the gathering we headed north to Grand Teton & Yellowstone NPs before revisiting the Buffalo Bill Museum & Western Center in Cody, WY. Gasoline prices were considerably higher than around home but don't think we paid more'n $3.72 per gallon even 'off the beaten path' in the mountains. Other than the mosquitos at NRA Center we were subjected to swarms of flies at campgrounds in WY & NE on the way home but all in all an enjoyable trip. Figured we'd share a few pix of our trip with y'all...
